Fitness World X International Women’s Day
In a continued effort to challenge gender biases and stereotypes in the wellness industry and encourage solution-oriented discussions, Fitness World will host its second International Women’s Day panel.
The annual initiative will include an inspiring discussion around this year’s IWD #embracingequity theme and a special, high-energy workout involving all guests and panelists.
Fitness World is committed to forging a path for positive visibility for women in the wellness space and while there is more work to be done, we are proud of our journey and our continued learning. We look forward to an evening of meaningful discussions, inspiration, and of course a fun workout which will preview our new Tempo Strength class.
